1. Imre Bartos:

   Luckily, neutron-star mergers only happen roughly every 100,000 years in the Milky Way, and ones that happen nearby do so less often, so we are not in any immediate danger in any way. and understand how they influenced the evolution of the galaxy.

2. Sharon Morsink:

   In that work, we have to assume that Einsteins theory of gravity is correct, since the data analysis is already very complex, so tests of Einsteins gravity using neutron stars really make me feel better about our assumption that Einsteins theory describes the gravity of a neutron star correctly!

3. Susan Scott:

   About 900 million years ago, this black hole ate a very dense star, known as a neutron star, like Pac-man -- possibly snuffing out the star instantly, the ANU SkyMapper Telescope responded to the detection alert and scanned the entire likely region of space where the event occurred, but we've not found any visual confirmation.

4. Daryl Haggard:

   We think of this as maybe a shattering of the neutron star surface, or some really violent event on the neutron star that causes it to get very, very bright and then fade slowly over time.

5. Scott Ransom:

   Neutron stars have this tipping point where their interior densities get so extreme that the force of gravity overwhelms even the ability of neutrons to resist further collapse, each most massive neutron star we find brings us closer to identifying that tipping point and helping us to understand the physics of matter at these mind-boggling densities.
